NOVOX® ST - Filtrox AG

NOVOX® ST
Plate and Frame Filter
Filter equipment for depth filter sheets and precoat filtration
Applications
There is a broad field of applications for NOVOX® series filters. Its high
filtration performance, top manufacturing quality and comprehensive
set of certificates meet the high standards of sensitive applications
such as beverage, biotech or pharmaceutical industries. The NOVOX®
can successfully operate in processes with high filter cakes as well as
precoat filtration.

Limiting factor for the p of a sheet filtration is the sheet grade and
the application.
Characteristics
The NOVOX® is a high precision stainless steel plate & frame filter
designed and manufactured for heavy duty use – 24/7.
The unique design of the NOVOX® allows for efficient handling.
High precision construction of the plate & frame assembly, and the
hydraulic closing mechanism, combined with high-performance
FILTROX filter sheets, minimize drip-loss.
Function principle (plate and frame filter)
Plate and frame filters provide large filter areas on a relatively small
footprint. The filter area is separated in single plates which form
stacks. Every other plate and frame has an inlet or an outlet for the
filtrate. The filtration is performed parallel over the whole surface.

Sheet sizes
The NOVOX® is available for several different nominal sheet sizes:
NOVOX®
400 (H) 400 x 400
600 600 x 614
Both NOVOX® 400 H and NOVOX® 600 are available in three different
support (chassis) lengths for various sizes of the filter stack and thus
for different filter area.

Dimensions
NOVOX® Filter is available in several models; each model is
determined by the filter sheet size it accepts; 1) 400 mm filter sheet,
and 2) 600 mm filter sheet. Each model of the NOVOX® filter is
available in 3 different chassis lengths (size 1 – 3).
The technical drawings below describe a NOVOX® 600. The letters are
assigned to dimensions of the various models in the corresponding
spreadsheets below. The drawings can also be used for the NOVOX®
400 H, although its shape is slightly different from the 600 model.
The 400 H model is equipped with wheels instead of feet. Value «E»
in the technical drawing indicates the lengthwise wheel distance.
